September 1, 2007 - The Best Dressed Chicken on the Air
But how can you tell what anyone on the radio is wearing? You'll have to take our word for it - Shawn and I are always nattily turned out when we waft the Free Kick show over the airwaves to your antennae. Fez and smoking jacket are de rigeur, but the cravate is optional.

When it comes to the music though, we always make sure the style comes with substance. Just take a look at last Saturday's playlist, which included such no-nonsense heavyweights as:

Schoolly D, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, The Stooges, Funkadelic, Amnesty, M.I.A., Big Youth, Dr. Alimantado, Burning Spear, Gerson King Combo, Harmonia Ensemble & Kocani Orkestar, Malouma, The Black Keys, The Who, Ennio Morricone, Mongo Santamaria y sus Ritmos Afro-Cubanos, Colin Fisher w/ Nick Fraser, Asha Bhosle, The Buzzcocks, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, Mr. Bungle, Electricty feat. Fire Eater, Leo Maslíah & la Banda Sinfónica de Montevideo, Alamaailman Vasarat, Dukes Of Stratosphear, and Studio 1 in dub!

Want to lounge in Free Kick fashion any time you like? Just download the show in handy mp3 format for repeated listenings at your leisure:

• medium quality (64 kbps)

Or, to save valuable disk space, you can stream the show from the CKUT archives page: look for the show of Saturday Sept.1 from 21:03 to 23:03.

OK, I'll have to plant you now and dig you later. Check us out again on Saturday Sept. 15 from 9-11 PM eastern time on CKUT 90.3 fm.
